Demag DRS Traveling Wheel Blocks Durability and Customization
The Demag DRS wheel block system is designed with high-performance materials and an optimized structure to ensure smooth operation, high load capacity, and long service life. The wheels are generally made of ductile iron, which is wear-resistant, rust-proof, and stable in motion. With multiple installation methods, easy maintenance, and a wide range of specifications, the DRS wheel block system is suitable for heavy-duty and special working conditions, and can also be customized to meet specific requirements.

Key Features of Demag DRS Wheel Block System
• High-Strength, Wear-Resistant Materials
The DRS travel wheel blocks are made of spheroidal graphite cast iron (GGG-70) with an anti-rust surface coating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Thanks to the self-lubricating properties of ductile iron, friction during operation is reduced, minimizing wear on both wheels and tracks.
Alternative materials are also available, such as alloy steel (for higher surface hardness) or polyurethane coating (for specific environments).
• Optimized Structural Design & Easy Maintenance
The wheel box housing adopts a precision split-shell design, fixed with bolts instead of welding. This allows wheels to be replaced independently, reducing both downtime and maintenance costs. The modular outer shell and multiple mounting port options (top connection, side connection, or pin connection) simplify installation and minimize the need for additional connectors.
• Stable Operation in Harsh Conditions
Equipped with double-flange ball bearings, DRS wheel blocks deliver reliable, high-intensity performance even in challenging environments ranging from -30℃ to 90℃, and special models can operate at temperatures up to 200℃.
Pre-installed high-quality grease ensures lifetime self-lubrication in dusty, humid, or high-temperature environments, greatly reducing maintenance needs.
• Efficient Drive System & Strong Load Capacity
The drive shaft uses a tapered transmission device secured by tightening bolts, which effectively disperses load pressure and enhances durability. Compared with traditional spline shafts, it is more wear- and impact-resistant. Additionally, the 42CrMo4+QT spline drive shaft, manufactured according to DIN5480 standards, ensures compatibility with sleeves and gear sets from multiple manufacturers. The central drive unit adopts a single-gear mechanism driving two wheel blocks, delivering high torque transmission and efficient operation.
• Full Range of Specifications & Customization
The Demag DRS wheel block system is available in multiple models, including DRS 112, DRS 125, DRS 160, DRS 200, DRS 250, DRS 315, DRS 400, DRS 500, and more. This complete lineup meets the needs of various production facilities, while customized solutions are also available for special working conditions.
